Description

HARVARD VS. YALE - 1916. Both had winning seasons, but this game
was the finale for both schools in 1916. And a bitter
rivalry it was. This was a defensive struggle
throughout, and the Bulldogs emerged victorious, 6-3. The
celebrated event was staged in New Haven, in the cavernous Yale
Bowl, and a moment in its proceedings was captured to provide the
ages with this magnificent panorama. Because of its seating
capacity, the recently-built stadium (1914) hosted most of Yale's
schedule. Measuring 7" x 47", this must be the most
expansive view of the stadium in existance. It is framed and
completely faultless in quality except for a small area of minor
surface damage at the right border (about the size of a quarter
dollar). From the camera's vantage point, we see a Harvard
banner wafting atop the other side of the bowl. And in the
distance, there's visible what we think is the basalt cliffs of
what is now Sleeping Giant State Park. This is a splendid
panorama and a requisite to the accomplished collection of vintage
Ivy League relics. Additional shipping cost may apply.
